Pallab Ghosh Patrick Vallance was also the driving force behind the strong role for science we saw in the Integrated Review of Security, Defence and Foreign Policy in 2021. He understands the global significance of UK strength in science and the UK’s role in the world civilservice.blog.gov.uk/2022/02/08/uks…

The Prime Minister cited his appointment of Sir Patrick Vallance as a demonstration of the fact that he was restless for change”. It was his very first answer at his news conference. So Sir Patrick’s appointment is not a run of the mill appointment of a middle ranking minister.

Today’s the day! I’m supporting the BBC Correspondents’ Charity Dinner in aid of BBC Media Action. Can’t wait to hear how BBC Media Action uses drama to change the lives of children living through conflict and crisis. Thank you The Langham, London for having us! #DramaForGood

Read this story by @molloymaddie if you dare! It’s about a world 'that the researchers say reeks of rotten eggs. No wonder, this pongy planet has high concentrations of hydrogen sulphide- which makes farts so stinky! bbc.com/news/articles/…

Just a few hours until the BBC Correspondents’ Charity Dinner for BBC Media Action. The BBC’s international charity shifts mindsets and attitudes towards violence against women and girls through drama, in countries such as #SouthSudan. Thank you The Langham, London for hosting!

Pallab Ghosh Maddie Molloy What does Uranus smell like?

The Altar Stone at the heart of Stonehenge stone came from Scotland not Wales as once thought. The discovery has been made by ⁦Anthony Clarke⁩, a proud Welshman who’s now worried that he’ll be disowned by his countrymen as a result! bbc.com/news/articles/…

.anthony clarke who discovered that Altar Stone at the heart of Stonehenge hails from Scotland and not Wales still remembers visting the iconic monument with his Dad in 1992 when he was a one-year-old.

New research published in nature chows that the stones at stonehnege came from all parts of Great Britain.

Pallab Ghosh It was great chatting with you, Pallab. A loss for Wales and a win for Scotland...just like the rugby!

Snowball Earth described an ice age that engulfed the entire planet. New research shows that the best geological record of the lead up is in the Inner Hebrides in Scotland. 1/3 bbc.com/news/articles/…

The rock layers there are like pages of a book that hold the only details of how the planet entered one of its most catastrophic periods. 2/3 bbc.com/news/articles/…

Scotland is likely to be awarded one of the biggest accolades in science: the “golden spike”, which is an actual spike hammered in to a planet transformation location. (But it’s not golden to discourage theft!). bbc.com/news/articles/…

It’s been quite a week for Scottish rocks. First the revelation that the Orcadian Basin was the source of Stonehenge’s Altar Stone and today that the Garvellachs have a unique record of Snowball Earth! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Pallab Ghosh Fascinating advance in geoscience! Finally a chance to unravel the secrets behind Snowball Earth prior to the sudden explosion of life forms in the Cambrian. Well done to the geologist(s} involved!

It's been a good week for #detrital #zircon in the news Pallab Ghosh ; in fact, both the Stonehenge and Snowball Earth studies only possible through geochron analysis of tiny zircons in Scottish rocks!

Great article from Pallab Ghosh - essential geological evidence on the beginning of snowball earth in the Cryogenian period 717 Million years ago. Research may lead to an authoritative golden spike, but we like the temporary carrot solution from Elias Rugen!🥕🔨
